Deal to secure passage of TGA Bill

Legislation implementing TGA provisional approvals will win parliamentary approval after a deal between the Government and Labor.

Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2017 Measures No. 1) Bill 2017 was withdrawn from Senate debate yesterday with proposed amendments from the Greens and Senator David Leyonhjelm of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Both amendments will likely be rejected. It is understood the Bill will navigate the Senate after government won Labor's support by agreeing to a minor amendment unrelated to those proposed by the Greens and Liberal Democratic Party.
